  Ken Jeong, Dr. Robert J. McCunney, Jodi Corbett, and Cheryl Lovell

  Sep 29, 20261 hour

  Ken Jeong, Dr. Robert J. McCunney, Jodi Corbett, and Cheryl LovellThis edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with actor and comedian Ken Jeong, who called this the greatest year of his career as his ABC series Dr. Ken wrapped its final episode. Jeong, known to fans from Community and The Hangover, described the joy of building a family comedy rooted in his own life as a doctor and father of twin daughters, and of bringing back friends and comedy heroes like his Community co-stars and Jeffrey Ross as guests. He highlighted a favorite Ken-and-Molly episode in which his character takes his daughter, played by Krista Marie Yu, and her friends to an Emblem3 concert to reconnect with a girl he feels slipping away, alongside a subplot involving Pat and Damona, played by Dave Foley and Tisha Campbell-Martin. Jeong and Neil traded thoughts on how fathers instinctively struggle to relate to daughters and the male urge to fix everything, and Jeong noted that unlike his self-aware real self, his character Ken Park has no self-awareness at all, which is where the comedy lives.Neil then welcomed Harvard physician and author Dr. Robert J. McCunney to discuss his medical thriller The Aging Code. McCunney explained that he builds his novels around topics he wants to learn more about, in this case the science of aging, gene therapy and CRISPR, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, weaving them through a health journalist, a United Nations clinic physician, and a Russian emigre genetic scientist. He walked Neil through genuinely striking research: medications like rapamycin extending the lifespan of lab mice by thirty to fifty percent, the rare genetic condition progeria that accelerates aging through a single DNA mutation, and gene-therapy work involving the protein klotho. He drew a careful distinction between life expectancy, a statistical average, and lifespan, which he said is now truly increasing for the first time since Roman times, and cautioned about the real dangers of unproven biohacking, since a drug that suppresses the immune system carries serious risk without careful dosing and long-term study. Citing Harvard geneticist David Sinclair's view that aging itself might be treated as a disease, McCunney, who is seventy-eight and still sees patients, offered his own credo: take risks, don't chase money, and love what you do.The program continues with a Jesus and Ugly Jodi simulcast featuring Jodi Corbett, who introduced Five Stones Ministry, a new church based in Longboat Key, Florida, with a global online presence holding its very first service. Corbett explained the name from David choosing five smooth stones to face Goliath, and described a church built to complement rather than replace people's local Sunday congregations. Its flagship effort is a Widows' Fund, guided by 1 Timothy 5, to help pastors' and missionaries' widows with mortgages and other financial burdens while affirming their ongoing value and gifts. He also outlined Peacemaker Security, drawn from his years in law enforcement and the FBI, which aims to reduce violence and eliminate homicides by hiring people from within troubled communities, along with planned ministries in pastoral care and orphan support.The show closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring Cheryl Lovell, founder of CLC Group. A Navy veteran of the Gulf War who pivoted from nursing into healthcare administration, Lovell built and sold her own home health, hospice, and palliative care companies before moving into consulting. She works across the post-acute space, helping organizations from startups to a hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar operations diagnose whether their real need is operational reorganization, growth, marketing, or acquisition. Lovell spoke candidly about the sector's heavy regulatory complexity, especially in home health, the challenge of business-to-business relationship marketing, and the risk-averseness good operators must balance against the boldness the business demands.

  The Neil Haley Show

  Willem Geri on Postwar, La La: The Escape, History, Law, and Finding a Second Career as a Novelist

  Sep 29, 202629 min

  In this episode of The Neil Haley Show, Neil “The Media Giant” Haley welcomes attorney and author Willem Geri to discuss his novels Postwar and La La: The Escape, the historical events that inspired them, and how a lifetime spent researching cases and persuading juries unexpectedly prepared him to become a novelist. Geri says his interest in history began close to home. His father served in Europe during World War II and later shared stories about the experiences and circumstances he encountered there. Those memories remained with Geri for years and eventually helped inspire Postwar. The book itself began almost accidentally. When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Geri’s legal practice in 2020, he suddenly had time on his hands. He sat at his desk and began writing without any expectation of producing a novel. Twenty-five or thirty pages became 100 pages, and before long he realized he was actually writing a book. Rather than outlining everything beforehand, Geri allowed the story to develop as he wrote. He compares the experience to watching a movie unfold inside his mind. Characters appeared, the plot evolved, and sometimes he changed direction completely when something no longer worked. Postwar centers on a soldier who survives four years of combat and later becomes an attorney while still carrying the psychological consequences of war. The story is set largely in Berlin in 1948, during an extraordinary period of political and social change, and follows the character as his professional life and a significant romantic relationship begin to intersect. His second novel, La La: The Escape, moves in a different direction. The story follows a young woman attempting to escape a dangerous Russian oligarch. Her journey takes her through the Mediterranean, across Europe, into Canada, and eventually toward the United States while the man she is fleeing remains close behind. Geri describes the story as a classic conflict between good and evil, with suspense built around a simple question: can she stay ahead of the person pursuing her? He says there has already been interest in adapting The Escape for film, something he believes makes sense because of its visual locations, international setting, chase structure, and connections to contemporary tensions involving Russia and Ukraine. Research is essential to both books. Geri spent approximately five decades practicing law, primarily as a trial attorney and litigator. Throughout his career, he handled both criminal and civil matters and learned how to take enormous amounts of information, identify what mattered, and construct a convincing narrative. That skill transferred naturally into fiction. His writing setup often included three screens: one for the manuscript, another for the developing plot, and another for research. Modern technology allowed him to virtually explore streets and locations in places such as Turkey even though he had never personally visited them. For Geri, credibility matters. Even when the story is fictional, the surroundings, history, politics, legal concepts, and human behavior need to feel plausible. His legal career also taught him something important about rewriting. Geri says he may rewrite a sentence five or six times before he is satisfied. If something does not work, he is willing to eliminate it and start again. He does not see that process as frustrating; he sees it as part of the challenge. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-neil-haley-show--6503396/support .

  The Neil Haley Show

  Roma Downey, Willem Geri, Michael Aguas, and Jodi Corbet

  Sep 29, 20261 hour

  The Neil Haley Show opens with a Celebrity Interviews simulcast alongside Greg Hanna welcoming beloved actress and producer Roma Downey, who reflected warmly on her years playing the angel Monica on Touched by an Angel before turning to her new family drama The Baxters, launching on Amazon Prime Video for Easter. Downey explained that she first came to the material as a fan, unable to put down Karen Kingsbury's Redemption series, and reached out to the author for the rights to adapt it. The result follows Elizabeth and John Baxter, played by Downey and Ted McGinley, and their five adult children, a multigenerational family of faith who turn to prayer when life brings them to their knees. She called it a bingeable hope opera made for families to watch together, and shared that her own real-life daughter and Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter Cassidy both appear in the show. Adapting the books meant updating the 9/11-era storyline to a contemporary event with Kingsbury's blessing. Asked the most important thing she has learned, Downey offered that courage is not the absence of fear but taking action despite it, and that creative people must take the risk and start, trusting the ducks to line up afterward. She invited listeners to find her on Instagram and Facebook. Find The Baxters on Amazon Prime Video. Neil then welcomed author Willem Geri, the pen name of accomplished trial lawyer Bill Greenberg, to discuss two novels, Postwar and The Escape: La La La. Geri explained that he never set out to write fiction; when his law practice shut down during the 2020 pandemic, he sat at his desk with nothing to do and simply began, finding himself a hundred pages in before he realized he was writing a book. Postwar, rooted partly in his own father's World War II experiences in Europe, follows a combat veteran turned attorney in 1948 Berlin as he navigates the war's lasting consequences and a profound romance. The Escape: La La La is a good-versus-evil chase story about a young woman fleeing a Russian oligarch across the Mediterranean and eventually to the United States, a book he said some producers are now interested in filming given its resonance with current events involving Russia and Ukraine. Geri described writing as an escape in which he watches the movie unfold in his mind, and credited his decades as a litigator, who argues to juries without notes, for the research skills and persuasive instincts he brings to fiction. Married fifty-two years and practicing alongside his daughter, he is already at work on a third novel, Sevastopol. Find Willem Geri's books on Amazon. The program continues with a Reignstorm Radio Show simulcast featuring co-host Michael Aguas, who delivered a practical installment on long-term capital gains. Aguas explained how gains are realized and taxed when an appreciated asset is sold, why a large single-year gain can create a painful liability, and why planning before a transaction is far more powerful than after. He walked through offsetting gains with capital losses and year-end tax-loss harvesting, the three-thousand-dollar limit on deducting net losses against ordinary income, loss carryforwards, and the nuanced role of depreciation recapture, cautioning that none of it should ever be figured out for the first time on the tax return. Listeners were pointed to reignstormmediagroup.com. The show closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring Sherrie and returning guest Jodi Corbett on the greatest resource in life. Opening in prayer, Corbett named the Bible, while Neil offered living water, and the conversation settled on wisdom. Drawing on Proverbs 4 and Proverbs 8, they explored how wisdom is personified as present with God at creation, and reflected on Solomon, who asked God for wisdom to lead rather than riches, was blessed abundantly, yet squandered much of it late in life through poor choices, a reminder to keep one's heart focused on God.

  The Neil Haley Show

  Bill Bellamy, Mitchell Mueck, Jaimie Skultety, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle

  Sep 29, 20261 hour

  Bill Bellamy, Mitchell Mueck, Jaimie Skultety, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with comedian and actor Bill Bellamy, who reflected on how MTV launched him into the middle of 1990s pop culture and gave him the platform that led to comedy and film. Interviewing everyone from Madonna and Janet Jackson to Whitney Houston and Boyz II Men, he said, was a fantastic education, and he credited MTV with making his career work. Bellamy turned to his new film The Bounce Back, opening December 9th, in which he plays Terry Jackson, the manager and agent to Shemar Moore's character, a newly divorced author whose book about recovering from heartbreak turns him into a celebrated relationship guru even though he has no relationship of his own. Promising eighteen laughs per second, Bellamy pitched the movie as a warm holiday escape about love, second chances, and the way real connection tends to creep up when you least expect it, and he hoped audiences would leave hopeful about finding love in their own lives. Neil then welcomed author Mitchell J. Mueck to discuss his memoir The Story. Mueck, who recently turned seventy and moved to Goshen, New York, explained that after a lifetime of people telling him he had too many stories to let disappear, a quiet winter finally gave him the time to write. He shared a remarkably resilient life: one of six children raised by a single mother who supported the family playing cards, he left home at thirteen, lied about his age to become a foreman at seventeen in a Death Valley open-pit mine, married at nineteen and lost his first wife to cancer six months later, and later lost his second wife to cancer as well after twenty-two years together. Contracting polio at three and told he would never walk without a brace, he instead kept getting back up, and he framed resilience as the true engine of a meaningful life. Mueck spoke movingly about how every choice weaves into the lives of others like threads in a tapestry, and about honoring his late wives and his hardworking mother by keeping their stories alive. Neil, who related deeply as a fellow entrepreneur, urged him toward a second book covering his decades building concrete, trucking, and framing companies across several states. The program continues with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast featuring LinkedIn visibility strategist Jaimie Skultety of UpscaleYourBusiness.com. After losing her corporate role in the 2008-2009 downturn, Skultety built a virtual assistant business and eventually found her calling helping coaches, consultants, and fractional executives get visible on LinkedIn. She and Neil agreed the platform's real power lies in genuine relationship-building through direct messages, never a hard sell out of the gate, and in growing a focused, well-defined audience rather than connecting with everyone. She stressed profiles that speak to an ideal client instead of reading like a resume, the value of inviting people to your profile rather than waiting for them to land there, and the newsletter as a standout tool that lands directly in subscribers' inboxes and positions the author as a thought leader. She creates what she calls an authority playbook for each client. The show closes with a GildaGram simulcast featuring Dr. Gilda Carle, who pushed back on the sweeping claim that women alone are responsible for family tragedies. Responding to a heartbreaking news story out of Australia in which a separated father with documented emotional struggles took the lives of his young children and then his own, Dr. Gilda cautioned against the double standard in how these cases are discussed and raised hard questions about how warning signs are recognized and acted upon. She handled the painful subject with care and gravity, urging listeners toward compassion and vigilance rather than blame. Find Mitchell J. Mueck's The Story wherever books are sold.

  The Neil Haley Show

  Peter Engel and William Meisel

  Sep 29, 20261 hour

  Peter Engel and William Meisel The Neil Haley Show opens with a warm, wide-ranging conversation with legendary television executive producer Peter Engel, the man behind Saved by the Bell and the author of the forthcoming memoir I Was Saved by the Bell, out November 15th. Engel, speaking from his home overlooking the ocean, admitted he never wanted to make the show and even told NBC president Brandon Tartikoff to find someone else, only to watch it become a global phenomenon airing in eighty-five countries at a time when few American comedies traveled beyond a handful of English-speaking markets. He credited the magic entirely to the cast, recalling the first time he gathered the young actors in one room and knew they were special. Engel walked Neil through the ensemble one by one: Mario Lopez as Slater, the most visible of the group and the one he still stays closest to, cast after Engel told his casting director to open the role to anyone regardless of ethnicity; Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the charming, scheming Zack Morris, a role he likened to a California Ferris Bueller; Dustin Diamond as Screech, whom he called a comedy genius beloved in France, and whose later struggles Engel spoke about with genuine sympathy; and the young women Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie), and Lark Voorhies (Lisa), all of whom, he said, made those the best years of his life. He shared the origins of the characters, many named for real friends and family, and reflected on how the show respected the genuine emotional stakes of teenage life, from first crushes to first heartbreaks. Engel noted that Saved by the Bell even featured the first cell phone ever shown on television and that Jimmy Fallon's reunion drew thirty-five million hits in four days. The memoir, he explained, spans his entire life, from NBC page and working alongside John F. Kennedy to piloting an early drone in the Army and encounters with icons like Bette Davis, Orson Welles, and John Lennon. His closing advice was simple and heartfelt: find something you love, never let anyone steal your dreams, and never give up. Find Peter Engel at iwassavedbythebell.com. Neil then welcomed author William Meisel, whose book The Limits of AI: The True Role of Computers in Our Future offers a grounded counterweight to the current hype, brought to the show through Books to Life Marketing. Meisel, a former USC professor whose PhD dissertation was on neural networks and who spent a decade running a speech-recognition company, traced the term artificial intelligence back to John McCarthy in 1955 and explained that what we call AI today rests on one specific technology, deep learning through neural networks. He argued that today's large language models are already close to the limits of what that technology can achieve, because they depend on enormous quantities of high-quality data, and the supply of genuinely new, independent data is running dry as the web fills with machine-generated text. Building ever-larger neural networks, he warned, would require exponentially more data than exists, risking what he memorably called artificial ignorance rather than artificial intelligence. Neil, drawing on his own hands-on work building AI agents, agreed that the tools falter badly when left to run unsupervised and shine only when a knowledgeable human feeds them focused data and clear direction. Meisel pointed to the real promise ahead: smaller, specialized models trained on high-quality, narrow datasets, citing impressive Caltech cancer-treatment research, along with unsupervised learning and clustering, and above all conversational digital assistants, the field he devoted years to. Both men landed on a shared conviction that AI is a powerful accelerator for human work, never a replacement for human judgment or creativity.
